23 Nov 08 - You are photographers who take pictures with an expectation of the result sought after. However, sometimes, a photograph you have taken can physically shock you in it's excellence or beauty. " No way. I couldn't have taken that !" is the reaction the group is looking for when you submit a photograph to the pool. Whether through looking first time as the post delivers or seeing darkroom results..... Show us the few photographs that have had a profound effect on you. Please remember.....FILM ONLY

About The Shock of Latent Imagery Non-Imagined. (FILM ONLY)

A latent image on photographic film is an invisible image produced by the exposure of the film to light. When the film is developed, the area that was exposed darkens and forms a visible image. In the early days of photography, the nature of the invisible change in the silver halide crystals of the film's emulsion coating was unknown, so the image was said to be "latent" until the film was treated with photographic developer.

Having taken a photograph USING FILM, the latent image that exists before development is truly a mystical entity. Everyone has a photograph that has taken them completely by surprise once developed. Share this experience with others and pick the photographs you have taken that have taken your breath away. We'd love to see them.
